Does anyone on here have a Givi Airflow screen on their Suprt Ten? If you do, let me know what you think of it please.
Givi Airflow, who has got one?

Jump over to AdvRider and ask Chillis. I just bought the take off from his old Tenere.

I had a Givi Airflow for my S10. Used it some, enough to know it was an improvement over stock for sure. However, it was not an improvement like the Madstad brackets and screen. That is what I have on my current AT and it was the best I could find for the S10 and the AT. Nice and wide, lets air underneath to break the vaccuum and 95% eliminates buffeting. If someone knows of a better engineered screen, please post!

I have the MRA X-screen on my 2015 s10. I took it off another bike and it works great. I am 189cm or 6'3". It clamps on top and does a similar job to the one you mentioned. Almost no buffeting and I don't have side wings etc.

Loved the AirFlow so much (also have winglets) that when I traded my Gen 1 had it fitted to my Gen 2.
This involved removing all the adjustment bracketry from my Gen 2 and making a couple of spaces.
With the AirFlow I get no buffeting and very little wind noise. Allows visor up riding way past the UK speed limit.
Best screen on the market for me on my S10 (all IMHO)

I have one and like it a lot. I have tried the S10 raised touring screen but it causes buffeting to the point I get blurred vision.
I’m 6,3” and can raise it enough to comfortably ride at 100k with my visor up. So quiet I don’t wear earplugs. It’s great in the rain as the inner airflow whips the rain off the top of the screen and flings it over your head
Only down side is it causes a slight instability if raised right up in windy conditions.
I took a video of it when I was waterblasting it last week as I was amazed how much it deflects the airflow. I can’t post the vid but took a screenshot.

Thanks MikeinNZ, that sounds like just what I am looking for. I actually had one of these on my previous bike, a Kawasaki Versys 1000 and it did a pretty good job for me, but I was afraid that maybe it suited the Versys and wouldn’t work so well on the Super Ten.

I highly recommend reading the reviews on Revzilla, seems to work great for many and absolutely worthless for others.

Interestingly, it appears that the reviews for the Super Ten are all 5* and that’s what I was hoping to hear.

Shields are like seats, you gotta try more than one.

How does the Givi Airflow compare tothe Yamaha touring screen?
The Yamaha screen is lower so more buffeting. It made my visor rattle.

I've tried a lot of screens..cal-sci, parabellum, givi air flow, Vstream, oem, oem tall version. I've tried them on both generations of S10.
For me: My favorite is the oem tall. second is the Givi Airflow. both on the Gen 2 S10. Unfortunately on my Givi Airflow I got a couple of spray drops of "off" mosquito repellent and learned the hard way bug repellent doesn't come off these screens. It's just a couple of small dots...but it just bothers me for some weird OCD-type reason? But I do believe that a lot depends on one's height and which generation of S10. On the Vstream, It felt totally different on the Gen2 than the Gen 1. Both I was using Madstad brackets.

Opinions on the Parabellum??
I have had one on my bike since new. Works well for me, and mounted on the Madstad bracket. I have in a lower position in order to get a good amount of air to my face. I keep it in a more vertical position then slanted back, otherwise I do get a lot of buffeting. Although I think it is more the air that is getting between the shield and the bike that causes it.
